Vintage Tractors - what do you have? Eyecandy and tractor drawings included!

Art Farm

Hi all.

I am doing some research for a project I am working on and would like some help.

I am living in Wexford and married to a farmers daughter. He has a nice little Davy Brown 780 selectamatic.

I am currently working on some vintage machinery artwork at the moment. I love drawing and art in general and I would like to build up a collection of vintage tractors drawn by hand.

I follow a lot of the local tractor runs and go to the local shows etc. I am always blown away by the time and effort put into restoring and keeping a vintage tractor. They are truly a work of art and I believe vintage tractors are one of the best examples of showing times past. Hats off to all you guys and gals in vintage clubs and for keeping your machines in such good working order!

I would like to know what you all have in your sheds and farms. Can anyone tell me which makes and models are most popular?

If you could, try include make, model and year. That will help with my research.

Below is an example of my artwork. I would love some feedback from you guys as to what you think of my work and also what tractors you have.

Thanks in advance, and enjoy the eyecandy!

If you are ever up in cork call into Atkins farm machinery they are right next to the county hall (it the really tall building on the west of the city). They have pristine old fendt on display in the shop there.

Would a 79' Leyland be considered vintage??

I drew my father-in-laws bull and a few calves before. I don't have a copy to stick up here. But he loves it and its framed hanging up in his kitchen.

And thanks stanlft and sea12.

Birdnuts, I think anything over 30 years old is considered vintage, but I could be wrong on that. Anyone confirm?
